deluxe makeover
here's my 05 deluxe after her diet.....she's slim and trim. Fatboy rear fender, new front fender, new signals, forward controls, seat, new handlebars and cables. shed the spot lights and floorboards.
So far so good. She feels great out on the road.

RE: deluxe makeover
Hey haksaw, looks like the only thing you forgot to take off are those reflectors 
Just curious, any reason why you didn't start with a Fatboy instead? Seems it would have saved you a lot of "taking off" stuff.

RE: deluxe makeover
if i'd have bought a fatboy i'd probably be adding foglights and bags etc lol ...never satisfied i guess. ...and i'd be stuck with those solid wheels.
Now I can change back and forth depending what I feel like riding. (since both sets of fenders match my tank)
Yeah, the reflectors are coming off.

RE: deluxe makeover
The "just buy a fatboy option" seems it would have saved some $$$ and some wrenching, but maybe that was part of the "fun."

Keep making it yours, Hacksaw!
